LUX Photonics Consortium and The Photonics Instituteare proud to bring you Photonics@SG 2018 - a one-day conference held on 26 November 2018 at the NTU School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) Auditorium, focusing on the theme of Materials for new Photonics Technologies and Applications.

Riding on the momentum generated by The Photonics Institute Conference 2016 and the MEGA Conference Photonics@SG 2017, which combined three major international conferences (CLEO-PR 2017, OECC 2017 and PGC 2017), Photonics@SG aims to be the annual flagship program for Optics and Photonics in Singapore, bringing together reputable researchers from the academic community and industry experts to explore, debate and exchange novel ideas, while showcasing some of the latest Photonics technologies and innovations.

The Consortium had a fruitful and well-received networking and technology introduction event held on the 31st May at the Nanyang Polytechnic. At the event, Chairman Prof Tjin Swee Chuan introduced and welcomed 7 new industry members to the Consortium. They are AXISTEC, EAGLEYARD, GDS INSTRUMENTS, KIBING, PI, PURELIFI and SINTEC OPTRONICS. Two new Faculty members also presented their technology offerings to the members. The event ended with a tour of facilities hosted by Nanyang Polytechnic.

LUX Photonics Consortium will be participating at the 21st edition of Manufacturing Technology Asia (MTA) 2017 and is a partner organization of the inaugural Optics and Photonics Innovation Hub. The event will be held on 4-7 April 2017 at the Singapore Expo.

The Optics and Photonics Society of Singapore (OPSS) will be hosting its 5th Edition of the International Conference on Optical and Photonic Engineering icOPEN2017. The conference will be co-located with MTA2017 from 4 to 7 April at the Singapore Expo. It aims to promote greater interaction between academia and industries and to provide a forum for discussing cutting edge technologies both in the research front and those closer to industry.

LUX Photonics Consortium hosted a delegation of 15 members from the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) from 11th to 13th January 2017. The event was jointly organized by LUX Photonics Consortium and EPIC. EPIC members coming from Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, USA, and New Zealand visited a few Singapore landmarks as well as LUX member companies GLOBALFOUNDRIES, DenseLight Semiconductor and Coherent Singapore; and had a glimpse of Singapore's photonics industry. This is part of the MoU signed between LUX Photonics Consortium and EPIC in April 2016 to form a partnership for bilateral business network expansion.
